1. A method for providing display objects representing areas of wireless communication coverage in a user interface to a wireless communication network management system, comprising:

  • generating at least one substantially circular ring graphic object, wherein said ring graphic object represents a physical area of radio coverage for an associated wireless network device within a physical environment in which said associated wireless network device is deployed, and wherein said ring graphic object is displayed within a graphical representation of said physical environment in which said associated wireless network device is deployed;

    further including a plurality of ring graphic objects, and wherein each said ring graphic object has a thickness representative of an amount of throughput available to one or more other wireless communication devices located within an area of said physical environment in which said associated wireless network deployed that is defined by said ring graphic object, such that a relatively thicker thickness of one said ring graphic object in comparison with another ring graphic object is indicative of a relatively higher amount of available throughput of one wireless device relative to another wireless device, and such that a relatively thinner thickness of said ring graphic object in comparison with another ring graphic object is indicative of a relatively lower amount of available throughput of one wireless device relative to another wireless device.
